Events of a Festival劍橋雅思11-聽力原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Events of a Festival聽力原文：

ROB:Good morning.

Stretton Festival box office.

How can I help you?

MELANIE:Oh,hello.

My family and I are on holiday in the area,and we've seen some posters about the festival this week.

Could you tell me about some of the events,please?

ROB:Of course.

MELANIE:First of all,are there still tickets available for the jazz band on Saturday?

ROB:There are,but only(Example)￡15.

The￡12 seats have all been sold.

MELANIE:OK.

And the venue is the school,isn't it?

ROB:Yes,that's right,the secondary school.

Make sure you don't go to the primary school by mistake!

And there's an additional performer who isn't mentioned on the posters-Carolyn Hart is going to play with the band.

MELANIE:Oh,I think I've heard her on the radio.

Doesn't she play the oboe,or flute or something?

ROB:Yes the flute.

She usually plays with symphony orchestras,and apparently this is her first time with a jazz band.

MELANIE:Well,I'd certainly like to hear her.

Then the next thing I want to ask about is the duck races-I saw a poster beside a river.

What are they,exactly?

ROB:Well,you buy a yellow plastic duck-or as many as you like-they're a pound each.

And you write your name on each one.

There'll be several races,depending on the number of ducks taking part.

And John Stevens,a champion swimmer who lives locally,is going to start the races.

All the ducks will be launched into the river at the back of the cinema,then they'll float along the river for 500 metres,as far as the railway bridge.

MELANIE:And are there any prizes?

ROB:Yes,the first duck in each race to arrive at the finishing line wins its owner free tickets for the concert on the last night of the festival.

MELANIE:You said you can buy a duck?

I'm sure my children will both want one.

ROB:They're on sale at a stall in the market.

You can't miss it-it's got an enormous sign showing a couple of ducks.

MELANIE:OK.

I'll go there this afternoon.

I remember walking past there yesterday.

Now could you tell me something about the flower show,please?

ROB:Well,admission is free,and the show is being held in Bythwaite Hall.

MELANIE:Sorry,how do you spell that?

ROB:B-Y-T-H-W-A-I-T-E.

Bythwaite.

MELANIE:Is it easy to find?

I'm not very familiar with the town yet.

ROB:Oh,you won't have any problem.

It's right in the centre of Stretton.

It's the only old building in the town,so it's easy to recognise.

MELANIE:I know it.

I presume it's open all day.

ROB:Yes,but if you'd like to see the prizes being awarded for the best flowers,you'll need to be there at 5 o'clock.

The prizes are being given by a famous actor,Kevin Shapless.

He lives nearby and gets involved in a lot of community events.

MELANIE:Gosh,I've seen him on TV.

I'll definitely go to the prize-giving.

ROB:Right.

MELANIE:I've seen a list of plays that are being performed this week,and I'd like to know which are suitable for my children,and which ones my husband and I might go to.

ROB:How old are your children?

MELANIE:Five and seven.

What about'The Mystery of Muldoon'?

ROB:That's aimed at five to ten-year-olds.

MELANIE:So if I take my children,I can expect them to enjoy it more than I do?

ROB:I think so.

If you'd like something for yourself and your husband,and leave your children with a babysitter,you might like to see'Fire and Flood'-it's about events that really happened in Stretton two hundred years ago,and children might find it rather frightening.

MELANIE:Oh,thanks for the warning.

And finally,what about'Silly Sailor'?

ROB:That's a comedy,and it's for young and old.

In fact,it won an award in the Stretton Drama Festival a couple of months ago.

MELANIE:OK.

Well,goodbye,and thanks for all the information.

I'm looking forward to the festival!

ROB:Goodbye.

二、Events of a Festival聽力中文翻譯：

羅伯：早上好。

斯特拉頓電影節(jié)票房。

我能為您做些什么？

梅勒妮：噢，你好。

我和我的家人正在這個地區(qū)度假，我們本周看到了一些關于這個節(jié)日的海報。

你能告訴我一些活動的情況嗎？

羅布：當然。

梅勒妮：首先，周六的爵士樂隊還有票嗎？

羅布：有，但只有（舉例）￡15

這個￡12個座位全部售出。

梅勒妮：好的。

地點是學校，不是嗎？

羅布：是的，沒錯，中學。

確保你沒有誤上小學！

海報上沒有提到另一位表演者——卡羅琳·哈特將與樂隊合作。

梅勒妮：哦，我想我在收音機里聽到過她的聲音。

她不會吹雙簧管或長笛之類的嗎？

羅布：是的，笛子。

她通常與交響樂團合作，顯然這是她第一次與爵士樂隊合作。

梅蘭妮：嗯，我當然想聽她說。

接下來我想問的是鴨子比賽——我在河邊看到了一張海報。

它們到底是什么？

羅伯：嗯，你買一只黃色的塑料鴨——或者你喜歡多少就買多少——每只一磅。

你在每一個上面寫上你的名字。

根據參賽鴨子的數量，將有幾場比賽。

住在當地的游泳冠軍約翰·史蒂文斯將開始比賽。

所有的鴨子都將被放進電影院后面的河里，然后它們將沿著河漂流500米，直到鐵路橋。

梅勒妮：還有獎品嗎？

羅布：是的，每場比賽中第一只到達終點線的鴨子贏得了節(jié)日最后一晚音樂會的免費門票。

梅勒妮：你說你可以買只鴨子？

我相信我的孩子們都會想要一個。

羅伯：它們在市場的一個攤位上打折。

你不會錯過的，它有一個巨大的標牌，上面有兩只鴨子。

梅勒妮：好的。

我今天下午去那里。

我記得昨天走過那里。

現在你能告訴我一些關于花展的事嗎？

羅伯：嗯，入場是免費的，演出在拜思威特大廳舉行。

梅勒妮：對不起，這個怎么拼？

羅伯：B-Y-T-H-W-A-I-T-E。

拜思威特。

梅勒妮：很容易找到嗎？

我對這個城鎮(zhèn)還不是很熟悉。

羅布：哦，你不會有任何問題的。

就在斯特雷頓市中心。

這是鎮(zhèn)上唯一的舊建筑，所以很容易辨認。

梅勒妮：我知道。

我想它整天都在營業(yè)。

羅布：是的，但如果你想看到最佳鮮花獲獎，你需要在5點鐘趕到那里。

獎項由著名演員凱文·夏普利斯頒發(fā)。

他住在附近，參加了許多社區(qū)活動。

梅勒妮：天哪，我在電視上見過他。

我一定會去參加頒獎典禮。

羅布：對。

梅勒妮：我看了一系列本周正在上演的戲劇，我想知道哪些適合我的孩子，哪些適合我丈夫和我。

羅布：你的孩子多大了？

梅勒妮：五加七。

那《馬爾登之謎》呢？

羅布：那是針對五到十歲的孩子的。

梅勒妮：所以如果我?guī)衔业暮⒆?，我可以期望他們比我更享受它?/p>

羅布：我想是的。

如果你想為自己和丈夫買點什么，把孩子交給保姆照看，你可能會喜歡看《火災和洪水》——這部電影講述的是200年前發(fā)生在斯特拉頓的真實事件，孩子們可能會覺得很可怕。

梅勒妮：噢，謝謝你的警告。

最后，“愚蠢的水手”怎么辦？

羅布：那是一部喜劇，適合年輕人和老年人。

事實上，它在幾個月前的斯特拉頓戲劇節(jié)上獲得了一個獎項。

梅勒妮：好的。

好了，再見，謝謝你提供的所有信息。

我很期待這個節(jié)日！

羅伯：再見。

五、Events of a Festival聽力答案解析

1.secondary本題采用了信息干擾的出題手段，在給出the secondary school這個答案后，錄音中緊接著出現了make sure you don’t go to the primary school by mistake。信息干擾是雅思聽力考試常用的出題手段，考生一定要注意錄音中出現的否定類信息。

2.flute考生完全可以根據卷面的band（樂隊）和play the這兩個已知信息預判出答案為樂器的名稱，錄音中給出了明確的答案flute。另外，空格前的人名Carolyn Hart可以作為定位詞幫助我們更好地確定答案位置。諸如人名、地名、書名等首字母大寫的信息在錄音中被轉換的概率極低，是很好的定位詞。另外，樂器類詞匯是中國考生詞匯方面的一個短板，大家應該在備考時注意補充這些重要的場景詞匯。

3.cinema本題的難度稍大，空格前的start behind the…在錄音中被替換為all the ducks will be launched into the river at the back of the…，故答案為cinema。如果想精確定位到考點，考生要聽出兩個關鍵轉換：start與be launched為同義轉換；behind與at the back of為同義轉換。

4.concert當女士問道And are there any prizes?時，考生就應該知道錄音這時已經進入到第4題的范圍，并且在男士接下來的回答中一定會出現本題的答案。那么當男士說“…free tickets for the concert…”時，考生就能很順利地寫下答案concert。

5.market本題根據bought這個詞可以預判考點詞為購物場所。錄音中提到They’re on sale at a stall in the market。然而本題很可能會有考生錯寫成store，因為考生一旦將stall（貨攤）聽成store，會認為store完全符合題目要求。其實stall為開放式的臨時售貨攤，是不能和介詞“in”搭配的；而且，這位女士想知道買小鴨子的具體地點，光說在一個“貨攤”可以買到等于沒說。因此，本題的答案只能是market。

6.Bythwaite本題的考查意圖和姓名拼寫題一樣，都是測試考生聽寫英文字母的能力。由于“Hall”的首字母為大寫，考生可以判斷這是一個專有名詞，“hall”在錄音中一定原文重現，因此定位考點詞是很容易的。原文提到the show is being held in Bythwaite Hall，故答案為Bythwaite。

7.actor由于可以提前預判考點詞為“人”，并且本題并沒有干擾信息，所以基本是送分題。錄音中提到The prizes are being given by a famous actor，其中famous與well-known為同義替換。本題唯一需要注意的是不要將actor拼寫成acter。

8.A和所有的非填空類題目一樣，配對題主要依賴詞匯替換。根據題干關鍵詞The Mystery of Muldoon定位。錄音中提到That’s aimed at five-to-ten-year-olds。A選項中的核心詞匯children在錄音中被轉換為five-to-ten-year-olds。故答案為A。

9.B根據題干關鍵詞Fire and Flood定位。錄音中提到for yourself and your husband…you might like to see‘Fire and Flood’，B選項中的adults在錄音中被替換為yourself and your husband。故答案為B。本題比上一題稍難，因為考官在這里設計了干擾信息children。在說完建議這位女士和其丈夫去觀看之后，這位男士隨后加了一句…children might find it rather frightening“如果孩子可能覺得這出戲相當令人恐懼”，那么自然是建議這出戲主要適合成年人了?？忌⒁猓呵f不要認為錄音中后面的信息比前面的更可能是答案，因為在雅思聽力考試中，考官在設計錄音時經?？桃獾卦诖鸢妇涞暮竺婕由细蓴_信息。

10.C根據題干關鍵詞Silly Sailor定位。錄音中提到it’s for young and old。young and old與C選項中的people of all ages為同義替換，故答案為C。
